It is on a branch of the North Wales Coast Line that runs between Holyhead in Anglesey and Crewe in Cheshire, England.
The station still has some of its old architecture and has a 1800s style canopy. In 2013, part of it was reconstructed in a scheme that cost £5.2 million. Even though part of the station was reconstructed, most of its old architecture still stands.
The station is very popular with tourists and is mainly used by them.
